I consider absolutely essential. And that's what my subject states.
Thunderbird (and Mozilla-Mail, for that matter) doesn't seem to support
STARTTLS for IMAP. No, I'm not talking about IMAPS (port 993), but
honest to goodness STARTTLS over port 143 like it should.
So is it me, or is thunderbird really lacking in this area?
If you want to know things like this in the future, all you have to do is
head over to bugzilla.mozilla.org, enter "STARTTLS" in the box and check
out the results. The first bug you are given is
60377 [RFE] Support IMAP STARTTLS command.
